Baghdad, Iraq, 9 October 2018 - The Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq, Ms. Marta Ruedas, is deeply saddened by the death of a deminer working for the international NGO Mines Advisory Group (MAG) while undertaking humanitarian clearance operations in the area north of Tel Afar in northwestern Iraq.
On behalf of the United Nations and the humanitarian community, Ms. Ruedas extends condolences to the family of the deceased and to his colleagues at MAG. “The humanitarian community lost a brave member who made the ultimate sacrifice while performing one of the most difficult jobs in the world and among the most noble missions, clearing unexploded ordnance in order to save lives.”
